Simple, but not very scalable

  • January 03, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is incredibly simple to set up and use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's complete lack of scalability for large enterprise projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provides us with a database solution for our smaller more customer specific projects. Takes little to no effort to implement.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're building a system that will eventually need to scale up, MySQL is definitely not the choice for you. Go with something more scalable and modern. If you insist on relational databases, I'd say you should go with PostgreSQL which is a lot easier to scale in the future. If not - then go with MongoDB. If you're dealing with a small project then yeah, MySQL is fine.

What do you dislike about the product?
- The development is not community driven, so releases/updates are slow

We are a design agency and build a lot of websites for our customers. MySQL has been the de-facto database in our organization, ranging from simple websites to retail/wholesale websites that hold large databases.

Benefits:
1. No additional cost to us/developers and to our customers
2. Scales very well for most common use-cases
3. Available as default database in any web hosting provider

MySQL is effective for transactional and structured data. If your data lacks structure or changes frequently, consider other databases.

MySQL Workbench is the best SQL GUI I have used so far

  • January 02, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
MySQL and MySQL workbench give you complete control without writing the actual SQL code. The workbench GUI allows you to easily create tables, alter them, and create queries on the fly. You can create a schema user, read writer user or readonly user for a database. Schema owners have administrative capabilities. I would strong recommend MySQL. There are several tutorials and a solid documentation to get started.
What do you dislike about the product?
Writing actual SQL code is a difficult task for those who are new to database administration.
I don't recommend it for big data.
Unlike 'No SQL' database, you have to create a schema for your tables and this may be a daunting task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Create proof of concept data storage for resource allocation.
Store customer and design requirements data.

We can easily import and export database, besides it shows a relational graph between the tables.Being open source can be modified and adjusted to the needs of each user.It has the ability to handle large databases and knowing knowledge of PHP you can implement customer records in a very simple way

Many tools work with PHP which is a great advantage to implement new functions but the big disadvantage is that you have to learn the PHP language to be able to implement the features offered by MYSQL.

Management of company data and new customers using the PHP language.

What do you like best about the product?
The best part about MySql and its services is the ease at which it works and how easy it is for a person with no knowledge to work on.
